John Fischer shows Bethel his faith, family and life
by Wendi Engel
John Fischer, in his
casual, personable manner,
talked freely about his back-ground
and life after his
concert for Bethel's Home-coming
Friday evening,
Oct. 17.
The audience got a taste
of Fischer's life during his
concert in which his songs
told about his family,
relationships and Chris-tian
living.
He gives concerts mostly
for Christian colleges, al-though
he also performs
in churches and at con-ferences.
Fischer believes
that his gifts are geared
toward Christian audi-ences
because he grew up
in a Christian home and
went to a Christian college.
"I like singing in places like
this (Bethel) a lot. I can
identify with the audience
and they can identify with
me," Fischer said.
With seven albums be-hind
him, Fischer will
begin work in January
on another album entitled
"Dark Horse," expected to
be out in the spring. The
album will be accompanied
by a book by the same
title. There will be a chap-ter
in the book to corre-spond
with each song title
on the album. Both will
deal with Biblical issues
and will be a reflection of
Fischer's life and people
he has modeled his life
after.
Fischer's interest in
music was inspired by his
family. His father was a
choir director in the
church, his mother was a
pianist and everyone in
his family sang. Fischer
has taken piano lessons
since he was seven and
started playing guitar in
high school.
Fischer has been in the
performing business for
twelve years. He has not
always performed for
Christian groups, and said
that this has helped him to
relate better to people after
being "isolated" in a Chris-tian
college.
Fischer does not believe
that there should be a
distinction between secu-lar
and Christian music.
"There can be truth no
matter where it is found,"
said Fischer.
Regarding the contro-versy
about Christian
artists performing secular
music, Fischer said: "We
need to give them a chance.
They are under a lot of
pressure to make state-ments
because they are
under the limelight. What
they need are good role
models, who are not im-pressed
with their fame,
to help them grow prop-erly."
Fischer sees competition
in the Christian music
field, yet he said it is not
competition among per-formers
but rather for the
album market because the
market is so selective.
Fischer travels from his
home in San Fransisco
about three weekends a
month to give concerts. He
enjoys this schedule be-cause
he can be "really
home" with his wife, and
two children, Ann, 2
months, and Christopher,
4 years. His family accom-panies
him to conferences
when he is away from
home for long periods of
time.
Registration: by appointment only
by JoAnn Watkins
"When do you register?"
"I register at 2:15 on
Tuesday. When do you reg-ister?"
"I don't register until
3:45 on Thursday.
Conversations like this
have become more com-mon
as interim registration
draws closer. Rather than
the previously used gen-eral
schedule organized in
alphabetical groupings,
students are assigned a
registration appointment
time.
Students receive no-tice
of their appointment
in the registration mate-rials
they receive. Use of
computers in the registra-tion
process has resulted
in the change to personal
labels and appointmemts.
"It helps us to know how
many are coming in at each
time," said Mary Caldwell,
registration coordinator.
Approximately 40 stu-dents
are scheduled for
each 15 minute period.
The first consideration
in assigning the appoint-ment
times is how many

Halloween weekend,
Oct. 30-31, will be Bethel's
third annual Parents'
Weekend. Although many
activities are planned and
scheduled, the weekend is
primarily an opportunity
for students' parents to
visit and see Bethel's
facilities.
The weekend's high-lights
begin in chapel,
Friday, Oct. 30, with
speaker and writer Jill
Briscoe, also a Bethel
parent. At 7:30 p.m. Fri-day
is the Student/Parent
Variety Program, organ-credits
the student has.
Caldwell said, "Anyone
with over 20 or more
credits goes into the first
registration slots." Stu-dents
are assigned to the

another Bethel parent.
Karl Kassulke will be

Ka ssulke at the Bethel
bookstore Saturday, Oct.
31, from 10-11:30 a.m. Also
that morning, tours will
be given of the campus.
Saturday's events will
begin with a banquet at
6:15 p.m. for students and
their parents. Following
the banquet a variation of
the program "Under Con-struction,"
created and
directed by Nancy John-son,
will be given.

alumni director. "It should

Fauth expects atten-dance
for the weekend acti-vities
to be comparable, if
not greater than, last year's
attendance of 400-plus
visitors.
"The purpose of Parents'
Weekend," explained
Fauth, "is to give Bethel
parents an opportunity to
see what is happening on
campus, to meet professors
and to check out the new
science facilities. For most
though, it's just a good
excuse to see their kids."

Crime center aids rape victims
letters
- Dear editor,
Bloody walls, heads and
and bricks seem rather ab-stract
for many Bethel stu-dents.
Abstractions have
continued to flow in the
form of letters. I'd like to
try some concrete answers
and explanations.
When I first read Doug
Barkey's article on Sept.
25, I was confused. Ap-parently,
from the many
comments I heard, I was
not alone! I was fortunate,
however, to have one of
his friends with me to ex-plain
it. With her help, I
gained a little understand-ing.
To me, the whole idea of
heads beating bricks
seems futile. Obviously,
one must give way to the
other. In all likelihood the
bricks will win. Jay S. Rus-sell
in his Oct. 9 response
evidently feels the same
way as he recommends
using a chisel and ham-mer.
I propose a third alter-native:
Why don't we stop
talking about bricks and
face the real issues at
hand?
Life here at Bethel seems
to be nice—good times,
happy discussions, design-er
clothes and a warm
Christian atmosphere. Un-derneath
it all things are
bleak. We find unmet
needs, problems and frus-trations.
_
A lot of people don't
want to show that. They
don't want to be vulnera-ble
to the pain that letting
your guard down can
sometimes entail. It's so
much easier to conform, to
hide behind the wide
smiles and trouble-free ex-pressions.
_
Barkey's article put him
in a vulnerable spot. He
shared something he really
believed in. It is important
to put our problems in full
view to be seen and hope-fully
corrected. I recently
read on the Beef Board
someone's remark to the
effect that this wasn't
important to all of Bethel.
That is untrue; any prob-lem
of this size is impor-tant
to us all. .
All of us get trapped in
walls of our own. We may
struggle to get out, but we
need help. God sent his
Son to help. He alSo sent
people like Barkey and his
friends. They are only
part of the caring popula-tion,
however; there are
many who care and try to
help.
I'm not condoning Bar-key's
article, but I'm not
condemning it either. He
sees a problem and can't
find a satisfactory answer.
Perhaps he is concentrat-ing
too hard on the prob-lem
and not the true answer,
Jesus Christ.
Christ is what makes it
all worth it, he gives us the
joy. With him we don't
have to hide our problems
and pretend they are not
there. They can and should
be exposed. This exposure
is the only way we can
reach out to one another
and help each other, just
as God helps us.
"Let not one then seek
his own good and advan-tage
and profit, but (rather
let him seek the welfare of
his neighbors) each one of
the other." I Cor.10:24.

rience of a Bethel student.
"Rape is a violent crime,
not a sexual one," said Joe
Caruso, counselor at the
Crime Victim Center locat-ed
in St. Paul. "The male
rapist usually hates worn-en."
According to Caruso, a
rapist may be male or fe-male
and may assault per-sons
of any age, sex or
appearance.
The rape victim in the
Bethel case contacted the
Crime Victim Center
which has given assis-tance
to more than 6,000
people in four years. The
Center tries to help vic-tims
with any crime-re-lated
problem including
pressing charges, filing in-surance
claims and seek-ing
shelter for victims of
family violence.
If the crime is sexual as-sault
the Center will recom-mend
a physical examina-tion,
provide short-term
counseling and help with
prosecution of the offend-er.
"Crime in any form is
very tramatic for the vic-tim,"
said Caruso. He said
a rape victim's initial reac-tion
is disbelief followed
by anger. Many times a
victim tries to blot out the
incident. When a victim
does choose to think about
it, guilt and low self-esteem
are present. The Center
tries to help the victim
deal with these emotions.
The Center also deals
with crime prevention.
"The best prevention for
rape is to simply be aware
of your situation at all
times," said Caruso. To
"be aware" one should
note dangerous situations
and take preventive ac-tion.
Board helps
MN student
consumers
by Anita Baerg
The Minnesota Higher
Education Coordinating
Board operates a program
that provides consumer
assistance for post-secondary
and prospective
college students seeking
accurate and useful infor-mation
about Minnesota
educational institutions
and their programs.
According to Phil
Lewenstein, media repre-sentative
for the Coordin-ating
Board, the Private
Institution Registration
Program assists and pro-tects
persons choosing to
attend private and out-of-state
public institutions
operating in Minnesota by
assuring the authenticity
and legitimacy of the insti-tutions.
The Registration Pro-gram
requires that aca-demic
degrees meet mini-mal
standards, that stu-dent
records are protected
and accessible for future
use and that prospective
students receive accurate -
and useful information
concerning institutions
and their programs.
Approved registration
in the program indicates
that an institution has
submitted information
about itself to the Higher

Board, and has demon-strated
that it has suffi-cient

editorial
"If one is assaulted one
should use one's best judg-ment
to get out of the situa-tion,"
Caruso said. "In
some cases fighting back
will scare the attacker
away. Other times fight-ing
will only further pro-voke
the attacker." There
are no specific guidelines
to follow, according to Ca-ruso.
Caruso does not recom-mend
Mace because the
rapist may take it and use
it on the victim, or the
wind may blow the spray
back into the victim's face.
In some cases Mace will
not affect the rapist high
on drugs.
Caruso does advocate
shriek alarms. These pres-surized-
can devices can be
used to call attention to
the assault or, when used
near the attacker's ear, to
break the attacker's ear-drum.
When the news first came about the assassination of
Anwar Sadat many were appalled and saddened by his
death.
The future of Egypt politically, economically and
socially was in question.
The assassination of Sadat brought back grim memo-ries
of attempted assassinations and murders of other
world leaders and people with great reputations, people
such as Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, John Lennon
and tennis star Bjorn Borg. Looking over the past year,
these tragedies bring shock and amazement. But should
they?
Bible-believing Christians live in a non-Christian
world where hate overpowers love and revenge over-powers
forgiveness. Christians have trouble compre-hending
the attitudes and actions of assassins, but at
the same time, should not be surprised. These assassins
do not have Christ in their lives so they cannot have the
peace God gives.
When_ Christians feel shocked by an assassination,
they must remember this is a world without Christ
where violence is an everyday occurrence. But Chris-tians
have peace knowing that God can overpower the by Mitch Anderson

Wellroundedness diffuses
focus of true Christianity
by Kraig Klaudt
The catchword for this decade has become "well-roundedness."
The society we live in has shunned the
deficient, the extreme and the singular, preferring to
embrace the cosmopolitan.
This mentality of well-roundedness is noticably pre-valent
among those of us who call ourselves "little-
Christs." With our feet firmly planted on the tarnished
means of culture and rationalism, we stand opposed to
those who would leaxie the security of our herd morality.
Be ye neither poor nor wealthy but middle-class; dry
nor drunk but sociable; mystic nor atheist but church-goer;
celebate nor prostitute but sensual, ... the paraly-sis
does not end.
Christ's words come as quite a shock to these bal-anced
attitudes.
When we desire to be responsible, we hear, "Go sell
all of your possessions and give the money to the poor
and follow me." We seek moderation, yet we are
advised, "If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off."
To our efforts to be holistic, our Lord replies, "I have not
come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set
man against his father, and a daughter against her
mother." And when we want to act reasonably we hear,
"If anyone strikes you on the cheek, turn to him the
other also."
Our eyes will not remain fixed on these words, our
minds refuse to contemplate them. If we do give them
consideration it is only to apply qualifiers and well-worn
spiritualizations.
What becomes of the person who takes the advice of
Christ seriously?
For the Apostle Paul, his new life entailed abandon-ing
a successful military career and choosing not to
marry because these things might have interferred with
his work.
Likewise, the life of St. Francis of Assisi is a stark
contrast to our generation of Walter Middy Christians.
The world rarely sees such men of God as St. Francis.
Perhaps this is somehow related to the fact that few are
prepared to preach to a treeful of birds or to run through
the streets of town naked as he did.
George Fox's fervor for Christ was so great that his
parents, thinking him to be crazy, took him to a doctor
to have his blood let.
In our age, however, the revolutionary power of
Christ has lost its force. Our moderation and sense for
the sensible prevail and the pure beam of Light Christ
brought into the world once again becomes diffused.
Society is left with another worldview to juggle about
rather than a New Order and a New Power which might
offer it hope.
On campus, the quest for knowledge and reasonable
behavior has usurped many responses of immediate,
Spirit-led action. Healthy GPAs, eight full hours sleep
and warm fuzzies have become the fruits of the right-eous.
In effect, it has become more blessed to lay down
our lives for our books rather than for our brothers and
sisters. Diversity, on the other hand, is greeted with
suspicion. A God-possessed person is silently encourag-ed
to keep things in perspective and to not go off the
deep end.
As individuals, we recklessly sacrifice our souls to a
hodgepodge diety of cultural expectations, peer pres-sures,
campus rules and church traditions. Let us
instead live and die for the spirit of the Living God,
regardless of how we look in the eyes of others.
Thomas Kelly, a Quaker who discovered late in life
the joy of escaping the earthly standards of religion,
wrote: "I'm so sick of trying to make all-round people.
They are too much like the church of Laodicea, and we
want to spew them out of our mouths. Progress is made
by lopsided people."
God, I ask you, where are your "lopsided" followers?

PO security problems persist
SMEA places first in state
by Janet Ewing
Dead fish and stolen food
cards are a few of the rea-sons
that Elaine McCleary,
Bethel post office coordi-nator,
would like to see
locks put on students' post
office boxes (POs).
McCleary said that pro-blems
with the security of
POs have increased since
she started working at Beth-el
three and a half years
ago. Last year over $300
was stolen in food cards
and money.
"We are one of very few
schools without locks on
POs," McCleary said. She
would like to work with
Student Senate to raise
the money to buy combi-nation
locks.
Bruce Kunkel, director
of administrative services,
said that at this time Bethel
is only considering buying
locks. It is not definite if or
when the locks will be
installed. No estimate has
been made as to the ex-pense
of the locks.

"Locks on POs would
also eliminate pranks like
dead fish and horse manure
in POs,"McCleary said.
Because of poor ventila-tion
in the post office, the
smell from the dead-ani-mal
pranks disturbs the
post office workers more
than the students the jokes
are intended for. "Last year
it took us two weeks to get
the fish smell out of one
PO," McCleary said. The
post office may begin a
policy of closing down dur-ing
the time it takes to
clean out a vandalized PO.
By posting notices for-bidding
the use of decals,
McCleary hopes to make
students more aware that
POs _are private. In pre-vious
years students were
allowed to put small decals
on the outside of their
boxes. McCleary hopes
that by keeping the front
of the POs clean students
will be more respectful to-ward

system at Bethel.

POs are checked twice a
week to make sure there
are no decals on them. If a
decal is found, a note is
put in that PO giving the
student two days to re-move
the decal. If the no-tice
is disregarded, the
next note informs the stu-dent
that he/she has one
more day to clean off the
decal or the Maintenance
Department will remove it
and charge the student for
the work.
McCleary encourages
the Bethel community to
use intercampus mail
when putting notes in
POs. The designated hours

downtown St. Paul.
Representing Bethel
were the award-winning
officers Jill Danielson, pre-sident;
Becky Kalb, pro-gram
director; Mike Dirks,
public relations; Lisa Beish-line,
secretary; and Lauren
Thomas, treasurer, with
Judy Moseman as their
advisor.
Other schools involved
in the workshop were: College
of St. Catherines, College
of St. Johns/St. Benedicts,
Mankato State University,
Southwest State Univer-sity,
College of St. Teresa,
University of Minnesota
(Duluth), University of Min-ents'
Weekend, Festival of
Christmas and Commence-ment.
In addition to planning
parent activities, the com-mittee
meets about six
times a year to discuss
any facets of Bethel life
that are brought to the
committee's attention, said
Fauth. In the past, the
committee has examined
campus security, housing,
nesota and College of St.
Thomas.
With the motto "Teach-ing
Teachers How to Teach,"
SMEA is a pre-professional
organization working un-der
the MEA specifically
for students who have an
interest in being informed
and kept up to date on cur-rent
issues and trends in
education. SMEA is de-signed
to aid students inter-ested
in education in pre-paring
for future goals they
may have as educators in
any field of study.
There are currently 96
members of SMEA at Beth-el
who, because of field
experience classes or stu-dent
teaching, need to be
provided with educator's
liability insurance. How-ever,
the association is
available to all students
with educator interests.
"We are really hoping to
build an enthusiastic group
of students who will ac-tively
participate in this
pre-professional organiza-overcrowding
at the col-lege
and the Bethel food
service.
If the committee thinks
there is a problem in one
of the areas of Bethel life
it does research to find a
way to solve the problem.
"Once the committee
comes up with a possible
solution for a problem, it
then makes a strong re-commendation
to the ad-ministration
to carry out
that solution," said Fauth.
The present Parents'
Committee consists of 14
sets of parents who have
at least one son or daugh-ter
attending Bethel. It is
chaired by Roger and
JoAnn Moberg.
tion,"said Judy Moseman,
Bethel's SMEA sponsor.
In order to meet the
needs of Bethel SMEA mem-bers,
plans are under way
for monthly on-campus
meetings which will cover
some of the following
student-suggested topics:
how to handle job inter-views,
what resources are
available to new teachers,
Christian teaching in pub-lic
schools, crafts and
other techniques involv-ing
different aspects of ed-ucation.
Bethel SMEA members
are also planning to be
involved in projects with
children in the Twin Cit-ies
metropolitan area, as
well as bringing in expe-rienced
teachers and speak-ers
to deal with student
interests and goals.

Tuesday, Oct. 20, the
Bethel forensics team tra-veled
to Normandale Com-munity
College for the
first Twin Cities Forensic
League Tournament of the
year (TCFL). The tourna-ments
are regular local
tournaments in which stu-dents
with minimal expe-rience
can develop better
skills in public speaking
and oral interpretation.
Last year, Bethel was
ranked as the 19th best
debate team in the coun-try
out of more than 200
participants in the Cross
Examination Debate Asso-ciation
(CEDA), and was
awarded the First Place
Trophy for Excellence in
the Upper Midwest.
Of the schools in the top
20 last year, only Bethel
and Wheaton Colleges
were of comparable size
and of the same theologi-cal
commitment. The other
schools included Brigham
Young University, Berk-ley,
UCLA, Colorado State
University, Air Force Aca-demy,
the University of
Utah and others.
Oct 30- 31, Bethel's de-bate
team will attend its
first tournament at Colo-rado
College in Colorado
Springs, Colorado. Rick
Kreutzfeldt, Rick Staple-ton,
Brice Russell and Ron
Nelson will attend along
with coach Butch Maltby
to match wits with some
of the finest debate teams
in the country. This semes-ter's
debate resolution is
"Resolved: Unauthorized
Immigration Into the Uni-ted
States is Seriously Det-rimental
to the United
States."

The forensics team at
Bethel is well into its sea-son,
having already at-tended
tournaments at
Iowa State University,
Sept. 23 -24, and Winona
State University, O_ ct.
9- 10.
The tournament at Win-ona
saw the first two Beth-el
students qualify for the
National Forensic Associ-ation
National Tourna-ment
to be held at Ohio
State University in mid-
April. Mike Wiseman fin-ished
fourth in Impromp-tu
Speaking and Peggy
Hardle finished fifth in Af-ter
Dinner Speaking.
Nine Bethel students at-tended
the tournament:
George Soltero, Debbie
Van Mark, Peggy Hardle,
Mike Wiseman, Carolyn
Mieth, Kristi Miessner,
Callie Campbell, Todd
Penner and Kari Christen-sen.
In the overall school
competition, Bethel finish-ed
seventh out of 16
schools competing at the
tournament.
Future tournaments for
the debate and forensics
teams include University
of Wisconsin-River Falls,
Wichita State University,
University of Nebraska-
Omaha, Iowa State Uni-versity
and a possible trip
to the Air Force Academy.
There is a full schedule
of tournaments through in-terim
and spring semes-ter.
Anyone interested in
forensics may come to the
forensics meetings each
Monday and Wednesday
from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Infor-mation

day, Oct. 29, Caldwell said
that if a student cannot
register at the time of their
appointment, he/she may
register any time later as
long as the registration
tables are up. Students
may also register Friday,
Oct. 30, in the Registrar's
office. No drops or adds
will be made until Dec. 1.
New Bethel students,
students returning after a
semester absence and ex-change
students from other
colleges will be able to
register Nov. 2-25. From
Dec. 1 to Jan. 4, 1982,
students will be able to
make changes in their
course registration. After
Jan. 4, a student may drop
a class but will not be able
to register for another.

Anorexia, from page 3
being self-destructive
despite emaciation.
The anorexic person is
usually under 25 years old
at the onset of anorexia and
loses 25 per cent of his or
her body weight. While
anorexia is most common
among adolescent girls, 10
per cent of the cases are
males.
Bulimarexia is a type of
anorexia characterized by
symptoms of repeated eat-ing
binges and self-induced
vomiting. Anderson said
that after a while eating
becomes associated with
vomiting and the person
will gag automatically
after eating.
Anorexia has become
more prevalent in the last
20 years due to the cultur-al
preoccupation with thin-ness,
according to Ander-son.
Most women believe
they must be thin to be
attractive. "It is more
society's fault than the

Jim Spickelmier, after
spending last year as a
full-time college student,
said he is glad to be
back as campus pastor and
ready to apply the things
he learned.
Spickelmier took sab-batical
leave last year to
finish his doctorate' in
Higher Education, an inter-disciplinary
program, at
the University of Minne-sota.
He had been taking
courses on and off since
the fall of 1976.
"I've been pecking away
at it a class at a time. Last
year was a good time to
finish up my courses as
well as my . preliminary
and oral exams," said
Spickelmier. "It felt good
to be a full-time student
again and I enjoyed the
excitement of academic
life."
"The primary purpose
of the study," explained
Spickelmier, "was to find
out how college life affects
a student's cognitive abili-ty—
the way a student
thinks. The study involved
intellectual and moral de-velopment
of college stu-dents
to see if they can
reason in a more complex
fashion as they grow older
and obtain more educa-tion."
- -
Spickelmier's thesis,
which he is writing this
year, will be entitled "Case
Studies of College Exper-ience
in Relationship to
Development of Ethical
anorectic's," said Ander-son.
Mortality rates of ano-rexia
are high, ranging
from 10 to 23 per cent with
15 per cent being the most
commonly cited figure.
If someone realizes a
tendency toward anorexia,
he or she should not be
timid or embarrassed
about seeking help, said
Anderson. The earlier anor-exia
is detected, the more
chance the person has to
recover.
Anderson -said that the
majority of treatment has
been handled on campus.
Last year Dr. Elke Eckert,
professor of psychiatry at
the University of Minne-sota,
gave a training ses-sion
on anorexia for Beth-el's
counselors, Student
Affairs staff, Director of
Health Care Service Flos-sie
Winquist and Dr.
Richard Burton, campus
physician.
Reasoning."
Spickelmier said that
working at Bethal cre-ated
the interest in pur-suing
that field of study
and thinks his research
and findings will be very
applicable to his job as
campus pastor.
"Going through the ex-perience
of being a full-time
student helped me
remember what it is like
to be a college student,"
said Spickelmier. "But my
formal study was also very
helpful because I was able
to read about research
studies on the effects of
college life on students. I
was also able to research
studies that had been done
about adolescence and
young adulthood, as well
as studies on cognitive
development."
"I was also able to parti-cipate
in a faculty develop-ment
study at the Univer-sity,"
said Spickelmier. "It
involved studying the
changes that faculty mem-bers
go through during
their career."
"Overall, I think my
studies will help me to
understand the undergrad-uate
process better and
help me to be more sensi-tive
to the needs of my
fellow faculty members,"
said Spickelmier.
Spickelmier said that he
felt like he was in a re-entry
process at Bethel.
"It has taken some time
to get re-adjusted to my
role as campus pastor,"
said Spickelmier, "but I
am feeling more comfort-able
as time goes along,
and also as I am getting to
know more of the stu-dents."
Spickelmier became
Bethel's campus pastor in
1975. He graduated from
Bethel College in 1963 and
Bethel Seminary in 1968.
He received his Master of
Theology degree at Prince-ton
University in New Jer-sey.
Before becoming campus
pastor at Bethel Spickel-mier
served in the Peace
Corps teaching school in
Tanzania. He also pastor-ed
a church in New York
city from 1968-69, and a
church in Kensington,
Connecticut, from 1969-
75.
Spickelmier and his
wife Carole, a flute teacher
and homemaker, have
three boys—Eric, 11;
Grant, 8; and Mark, 3.

seniors 18-6. That night a
bonfire on Seminary Hill
featured singing, cider and
doughnuts.
Khakis, top-siders,
Izods and monograms
were the dress code on
Friday as the preppies,
along with a few "punk-sters,"
invaded the cam-pus.
Evening concertgoers
heard John Fischer, with a
warm-up by "Certain
Shapes," a newlyformed
band comprised of four
Bethel students. Preppy
rollerskating brought the
day to a sporty finish.
Rain and gray skies
blew in on Saturday, but
the show went on. Mud-caked
Bethel football play-ers
fought hard but lost to

Seminar alerts students of war alternatives events calendar
Krashers and Slautern
take I.M. volleyball titles
by Anita Baerg
Bethel students were
informed of alternatives
to registering for the mil-itary
draft at a seminar
Tuesday, Oct. 12, spon-sored
by the Peace and
Social Justice ComMittee,
a group of students con-cerned
about military and
social reforms.
The seminar included
three topics. The first, en-titled
"Registration and
You," was lead by G.W.
Carlson, assistant profes-sor
of history and political
science at Bethel, who sug-gested
several options to
the draft. Phyllis Golden,
a psychologist represent-ing
Physicians for Social
Responsibility, spoke on
the topic "Human Conse-quences
of War."
"Personal Biblical Per-spectives"
was the third
Human Rights in the
People's Republic of China
will be the topic of a con-ference
Oct. 28-29 at Ham-line
University in St. Paul.
The program, in Ham-line's
Student Center Ball-room,
is sponsored by the
Institute of World Affairs
at Hamline and the Mid-west
China Center. It is
free and open to the pub-lic.
Stephen B. Young, new
dean of the Hamline Uni-vesity
School of Law will
speak on traditions and
human rights in China at
soccer, from page 8
shut out St. Mary's 2-0.
In the St. Olaf game Tom
Church scored on Andy
Larson's assist and Mark
Johnson scored on Church's
assist. In the St. Mary's
game Greg Barkey scored
on a rebounding shot and
Bobby Clark scored un-assisted.
Coach Mark Leigh cited
the play of the defense as a
key to the wins, especially
the play of Jeff Krause,
Kevyn Higgs, Mark Strand
topic with Scott Chapman,
a Bethel Seminary stu-dent,
and Lester Arasmith,
associate professor of eco-nomics
at Bethel, each giv-ing
their ideas of what the
Bible says about war.
"The issue of registra-tion
and draft is impor-tant,"
said Carlson.
Persons who believe
that registering for a mil-itary
draft would be
against their Christian prin-ciples
may choose one of
three alternatives: Write
"I am a conscientious ob-jector"
on the registration
form; not register at all; or
publically refuse to regis-ter
and be willing to ac-cept
the legal conse-quences
of that action.
The consequences of re-fusing
to register could
lead to legal prosecution,
7:30 p.m. Oct. 28.
Richard C. Kagan, pro-fessor
of Chinese history
at Hamline, will speak on
the significance of the hu-man
rights movement at
11:10 a.m. Oct. 29.
After lunch on Oct. 29
six panel discussions on
human rights will address
the following topics: law
and litigation, cultural and
religious minorities,
women, freedom of expres-sion,
education and distrib-utive
justice. For more
information call 641-3233,
641-3238 or 641-2245.
and goalkeeper Bo Ceders-jo.
"We are trying to do our
best to take it one game at
a time," said Coach Leigh.
He said that the team also
feels a lot of pressure and
is trying to have as much
fun as possible, playing.
Leigh said of the two
games last week, "I am
pleased with the team;
everyone is playing well
right now. The wins were
good team wins."
Saturday, Oct. 24, the
Royals will host Hamline
at 1:30 p.m.
according to Carlson.
"Only if one believes firm-ly
that the state has no
right to force an individ-ual
into the military should
he refuse to register; then
he must be prepared to
face the consequences,"
said Carlson.
"To register as a con-scientious
objector is to
say 'I, as a Christian, can-not
participate in war, no
matter if it is in a peace-time
army or not,"' said
Carlson.
Persons belonging to
historic peace churches
have previously been grant-ed
conscientious objector
(CO) status more easily
than non-church or non-
Christian people seeking
it. However, the govern-ment
has tightened its reg-ulations
and persons seek-ing
CO status are going to
have a much harder time
getting it, Carlson said.
Chapman, speaking on
the "Personal Biblical Per-spectives"
gave his inter-pretation
of how Old Tes-tament
theology, as a
whole, fit into New Tes-tament
theology concern-ing
war and peace. "The
days of the old covenant
are past," he said. "These
are the days of the new."
Chapman said,"God set
the standard in his 'love
command'—to 'love thy
neighbor as thyself."'
Based on God's making all
persons in his image, all
human life is sacred and
the sixth commandment—
"thou shalt not kill"—is
pertinent today, he said.
"We do not have to rely
on military strength to pro-tect
ourselves, for God's
strength will do this apart
from our strength," Chap-man
said. "Violence begets
violence; there is no war to
end all wars."
Arasmith said, "My ap-proach
to the conscien-tious
objector issue is in-tensely
personal." After 17
years as an Air Force offi-cer,
Arasmith said the
Vietnam war caused a
change in his life. Accord-ing
to Arasmith, though
he loves his country and
would die for a just cause,
he believed that killing
was a sin and therefore
broke allegiance with his
country.
"I chose not to take a
human life," said Ara-smith,
and cited I John 2:5-
6 as the clear indication of
Christ's model to man.
Arasmith considers it
wrong to make weapons
with the intent to kill.
Phyllis Golden, speaker
for the topic "Human Con-sequences-
of War," said
that to her knowledge the
buildup of weapons "has
always led to war, never
deferred it." Weapons are
made to use in war, she
said, not to prevent war.
When the government
puts more priority on de-fense
spending than on hu-manistic
programs the
morale of the people is
decreased, according to
Golden. The process of be-coming
complacent about
the situation leads to what
psychologists call "psy-chic
numbing."
"It is important to under-stand
what would happen
to the world if there was a
nuclear war," Golden con-tinued.
"Threats of nuclear
wars have had a tremen-dous
impact on us psycho-logically,"
she said.
Physicians for Social Re-sponsibility
(PRS) is a
group concerned with the
consequences of a nuclear
war. "I am convinced that
major changes in prevent-ing
a nuclear war from
occurring will have to
start from the grass roots
level," said Golden. PRS is
one way the health care
field can contribute to the
education and awareness
of the nuclear arms race.

Saturday, Oct. 17. Four-teen
teams competed in
the race.
Wendy Norberg led the
team with a tenth place
finish in a field of about
120 runners. She was fol-lowed
by Leah Schirm
who finished 57th and
Rochelle Mathiesen who
finished 85th.
Other finishers for
Bethel were Lana Lauwers
and Kathy Zappe. Coach

Once again the weather
refused to cooperate as the

over the five-mile Bethel
course last Saturday, Oct.

the men managed 25
points to easily defeat

This year's volleyball
team is doing its best to
redefine the term "close
encounters." The Bethel
spikers were involved in
three more close matches
last week, losing to St.
Thomas and Augsburg
before defeating Concordia-
St. Paul Saturday, Oct. 17.
The first game against
St. Thomas may have been
the pivotal one in the
Royals' match against the
much-improved Tommies.
The lead seesawed before
St. Thomas won the opener
18 - 16. After losing the
second game 15 - 10, the
Royals came back to win
the third game 15- 13. St.
Thomas bounced back,
however, to win the fourth
game 15-9 and the match.
Against Augsburg, the
seventh place and fresh-man
"Squeak" Kummer
filled the fifth varsity slot
by taking eighth place.
Boyer and Brad Erick-son
distinguished them-selves
as the team's "mud-runners"
by being the only
two to better their times
despite the sloppy condi-tions.
Coach Steve Whit-taker
was exceptionally
pleased with the perfor-mances
of both runners.
Saturday, Oct. 24, Bethel
hosts its last home meet of
the season against St. Paul

the Royals could not
muster any offense in game
four as Augsburg won the
final game 15 -4.
The Royal spikers then
returned home for a match
against Concordia-St.
Paul. The squad started
out very slowly and
dropped the first two
games by the identical
score of 15- 9. With their
backs to the wall, the Roy-als
finally caught fire
and won the next three
games, 15 - 5, 15-5, 15- 3 to
win the match three games

Bethel's first MIAC
championship in any sport
may be just around the
corner. The Royal soccer
team leads the MIAC and
is one and one half games
ahead of second place St.
John's.
The Royals need to win
two out of their three
remaining conference
games to clinch the title.
Then even if St. John's
won all its remaining
games the two teams
would have the same rec-ord
but Bethel would re-tain
the edge by a previous
victory over St. John's.

Bill Lau said that Lauwers
is running with an injury,
possibly shin splints.
Lau said that Saturday's
course had "good terrain,"
but the women had to jump
or run through a creek
with a mile to go in the
race. Despite this obsta-cle,
three of the five
women, Schirm, Zappe and
Mathiesen ran their best
times of the season.
As the season draws to

Royals lose
Homecoming
heartbreaker
by Mark Wollan
Traditionally, Home-coming
games are star-spangled
events held on
crisp, clear, fall days. Last
Saturday, Oct. 17, the Roy-al
football team lost 16-7
to St. John's in a not so
traditional Homecoming
style.
St. John's head coach
John Gagliardi had his
team play Saturday's con-test
under protest after
first demanding that the
Royals forfeit the game
because of Bethel's bad
field conditions.
Bethel groundskeepers
worked on Bremer field all
day Friday, Oct. 16, hop-ing
to repair the damage
done to the field through-out
the season. However,
Friday night's over one
half inch of rain ruined
their efforts.
Gagliardi said he was
"glad we escaped alive."
His anger apparently had
an inspirational effect as
the Johnnies rolled up 301
total yards.
The Royals had a diffi-cult
time offensively but
were never out of the ball
game. Kicker Jon Fred-erickson
booted field goals
of 20 and 42 yards for
Bethel's scoring.
The Bethel special teams
unit has been consistently
improving throughout the
season. Jeff Wilson punted
five times for an average
of 40.4 yards a punt, in-cluding
one 76-: yard kick.
The Bethel comeback
was sparked by the hitting
and passing of co-captain
Denise Nygren and the accu-rate
passing of Cheryl
Madson.
Coach Cindy Book was
relieved that her team
finally came to life. "We
started extremely slowly,"
she said, "but then came
back and played the way
we're capable of."
Saturday, Oct. 24, the
Royals will play separate
matches against Gustavus
Adolphus and Concordia-
Moorhead, both at Gus-tavus.
The match against
the Cobbers and the Oct.
26 match at Northwestern
will probably determine
whether or not the Royals
advance to the state tour-nament
at Macalester
Nov. 6 and 7.

John Fischer shows Bethel his faith, family and life
by Wendi Engel
John Fischer, in his
casual, personable manner,
talked freely about his back-ground
and life after his
concert for Bethel's Home-coming
Friday evening,
Oct. 17.
The audience got a taste
of Fischer's life during his
concert in which his songs
told about his family,
relationships and Chris-tian
living.
He gives concerts mostly
for Christian colleges, al-though
he also performs
in churches and at con-ferences.
Fischer believes
that his gifts are geared
toward Christian audi-ences
because he grew up
in a Christian home and
went to a Christian college.
"I like singing in places like
this (Bethel) a lot. I can
identify with the audience
and they can identify with
me," Fischer said.
With seven albums be-hind
him, Fischer will
begin work in January
on another album entitled
"Dark Horse," expected to
be out in the spring. The
album will be accompanied
by a book by the same
title. There will be a chap-ter
in the book to corre-spond
with each song title
on the album. Both will
deal with Biblical issues
and will be a reflection of
Fischer's life and people
he has modeled his life
after.
Fischer's interest in
music was inspired by his
family. His father was a
choir director in the
church, his mother was a
pianist and everyone in
his family sang. Fischer
has taken piano lessons
since he was seven and
started playing guitar in
high school.
Fischer has been in the
performing business for
twelve years. He has not
always performed for
Christian groups, and said
that this has helped him to
relate better to people after
being "isolated" in a Chris-tian
college.
Fischer does not believe
that there should be a
distinction between secu-lar
and Christian music.
"There can be truth no
matter where it is found,"
said Fischer.
Regarding the contro-versy
about Christian
artists performing secular
music, Fischer said: "We
need to give them a chance.
They are under a lot of
pressure to make state-ments
because they are
under the limelight. What
they need are good role
models, who are not im-pressed
with their fame,
to help them grow prop-erly."
Fischer sees competition
in the Christian music
field, yet he said it is not
competition among per-formers
but rather for the
album market because the
market is so selective.
Fischer travels from his
home in San Fransisco
about three weekends a
month to give concerts. He
enjoys this schedule be-cause
he can be "really
home" with his wife, and
two children, Ann, 2
months, and Christopher,
4 years. His family accom-panies
him to conferences
when he is away from
home for long periods of
time.
Registration: by appointment only
by JoAnn Watkins
"When do you register?"
"I register at 2:15 on
Tuesday. When do you reg-ister?"
"I don't register until
3:45 on Thursday.
Conversations like this
have become more com-mon
as interim registration
draws closer. Rather than
the previously used gen-eral
schedule organized in
alphabetical groupings,
students are assigned a
registration appointment
time.
Students receive no-tice
of their appointment
in the registration mate-rials
they receive. Use of
computers in the registra-tion
process has resulted
in the change to personal
labels and appointmemts.
"It helps us to know how
many are coming in at each

registration coordinator.

are scheduled for

Halloween weekend,
Oct. 30-31, will be Bethel's
third annual Parents'
Weekend. Although many
activities are planned and
scheduled, the weekend is
primarily an opportunity
for students' parents to
visit and see Bethel's
facilities.
The weekend's high-lights
begin in chapel,
Friday, Oct. 30, with
speaker and writer Jill
Briscoe, also a Bethel
parent. At 7:30 p.m. Fri-day
is the Student/Parent

Caldwell said, "Anyone
with over 20 or more

Karl Kassulke will be

Ka ssulke at the Bethel
bookstore Saturday, Oct.
31, from 10-11:30 a.m. Also
that morning, tours will
be given of the campus.
Saturday's events will
begin with a banquet at
6:15 p.m. for students and
their parents. Following
the banquet a variation of
the program "Under Con-struction,"
created and
directed by Nancy John-son,
will be given.

alumni director. "It should
be a great show."
Fauth expects atten-dance
for the weekend acti-vities
to be comparable, if
not greater than, last year's
attendance of 400-plus
visitors.
"The purpose of Parents'
Weekend," explained
Fauth, "is to give Bethel
parents an opportunity to
see what is happening on
campus, to meet professors
and to check out the new
science facilities. For most
though, it's just a good
excuse to see their kids."

Crime center aids rape victims
letters
- Dear editor,
Bloody walls, heads and
and bricks seem rather ab-stract
for many Bethel stu-dents.
Abstractions have
continued to flow in the
form of letters. I'd like to
try some concrete answers
and explanations.
When I first read Doug
Barkey's article on Sept.
25, I was confused. Ap-parently,
from the many
comments I heard, I was
not alone! I was fortunate,
however, to have one of
his friends with me to ex-plain
it. With her help, I
gained a little understand-ing.
To me, the whole idea of
heads beating bricks
seems futile. Obviously,
one must give way to the
other. In all likelihood the
bricks will win. Jay S. Rus-sell
in his Oct. 9 response
evidently feels the same
way as he recommends
using a chisel and ham-mer.
I propose a third alter-native:
Why don't we stop
talking about bricks and
face the real issues at
hand?
Life here at Bethel seems
to be nice—good times,
happy discussions, design-er
clothes and a warm
Christian atmosphere. Un-derneath
it all things are
bleak. We find unmet
needs, problems and frus-trations.
_
A lot of people don't
want to show that. They
don't want to be vulnera-ble
to the pain that letting
your guard down can
sometimes entail. It's so
much easier to conform, to
hide behind the wide
smiles and trouble-free ex-pressions.
_
Barkey's article put him
in a vulnerable spot. He
shared something he really
believed in. It is important
to put our problems in full
view to be seen and hope-fully
corrected. I recently
read on the Beef Board
someone's remark to the
effect that this wasn't
important to all of Bethel.
That is untrue; any prob-lem
of this size is impor-tant
to us all. .
All of us get trapped in
walls of our own. We may
struggle to get out, but we
need help. God sent his
Son to help. He alSo sent
people like Barkey and his
friends. They are only
part of the caring popula-tion,
however; there are
many who care and try to
help.
I'm not condoning Bar-key's
article, but I'm not
condemning it either. He
sees a problem and can't
find a satisfactory answer.
Perhaps he is concentrat-ing
too hard on the prob-lem
and not the true answer,
Jesus Christ.
Christ is what makes it
all worth it, he gives us the
joy. With him we don't
have to hide our problems
and pretend they are not
there. They can and should
be exposed. This exposure
is the only way we can
reach out to one another
and help each other, just
as God helps us.
"Let not one then seek
his own good and advan-tage
and profit, but (rather
let him seek the welfare of
his neighbors) each one of
the other." I Cor.10:24.

rience of a Bethel student.
"Rape is a violent crime,
not a sexual one," said Joe
Caruso, counselor at the
Crime Victim Center locat-ed
in St. Paul. "The male
rapist usually hates worn-en."
According to Caruso, a
rapist may be male or fe-male
and may assault per-sons
of any age, sex or
appearance.
The rape victim in the
Bethel case contacted the
Crime Victim Center
which has given assis-tance
to more than 6,000
people in four years. The
Center tries to help vic-tims
with any crime-re-lated
problem including
pressing charges, filing in-surance
claims and seek-ing
shelter for victims of
family violence.
If the crime is sexual as-sault
the Center will recom-mend
a physical examina-tion,
provide short-term
counseling and help with
prosecution of the offend-er.
"Crime in any form is
very tramatic for the vic-tim,"
said Caruso. He said
a rape victim's initial reac-tion
is disbelief followed
by anger. Many times a
victim tries to blot out the
incident. When a victim
does choose to think about
it, guilt and low self-esteem
are present. The Center
tries to help the victim
deal with these emotions.
The Center also deals
with crime prevention.
"The best prevention for
rape is to simply be aware
of your situation at all
times," said Caruso. To
"be aware" one should
note dangerous situations
and take preventive ac-tion.
Board helps
MN student
consumers
by Anita Baerg
The Minnesota Higher
Education Coordinating
Board operates a program
that provides consumer
assistance for post-secondary
and prospective
college students seeking
accurate and useful infor-mation
about Minnesota
educational institutions
and their programs.
According to Phil
Lewenstein, media repre-sentative
for the Coordin-ating
Board, the Private
Institution Registration
Program assists and pro-tects
persons choosing to
attend private and out-of-state
public institutions
operating in Minnesota by
assuring the authenticity
and legitimacy of the insti-tutions.
The Registration Pro-gram
requires that aca-demic
degrees meet mini-mal
standards, that stu-dent
records are protected
and accessible for future
use and that prospective
students receive accurate -
and useful information
concerning institutions
and their programs.
Approved registration
in the program indicates
that an institution has

editorial
"If one is assaulted one
should use one's best judg-ment
to get out of the situa-tion,"
Caruso said. "In
some cases fighting back
will scare the attacker
away. Other times fight-ing
will only further pro-voke
the attacker." There
are no specific guidelines
to follow, according to Ca-ruso.
Caruso does not recom-mend
Mace because the
rapist may take it and use
it on the victim, or the
wind may blow the spray
back into the victim's face.
In some cases Mace will
not affect the rapist high
on drugs.
Caruso does advocate
shriek alarms. These pres-surized-
can devices can be
used to call attention to
the assault or, when used
near the attacker's ear, to
break the attacker's ear-drum.
When the news first came about the assassination of
Anwar Sadat many were appalled and saddened by his
death.
The future of Egypt politically, economically and
socially was in question.
The assassination of Sadat brought back grim memo-ries
of attempted assassinations and murders of other
world leaders and people with great reputations, people
such as Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, John Lennon
and tennis star Bjorn Borg. Looking over the past year,
these tragedies bring shock and amazement. But should
they?
Bible-believing Christians live in a non-Christian
world where hate overpowers love and revenge over-powers
forgiveness. Christians have trouble compre-hending
the attitudes and actions of assassins, but at
the same time, should not be surprised. These assassins
do not have Christ in their lives so they cannot have the
peace God gives.
When_ Christians feel shocked by an assassination,
they must remember this is a world without Christ
where violence is an everyday occurrence. But Chris-tians
have peace knowing that God can overpower the by Mitch Anderson

Wellroundedness diffuses
focus of true Christianity
by Kraig Klaudt
The catchword for this decade has become "well-roundedness."
The society we live in has shunned the
deficient, the extreme and the singular, preferring to
embrace the cosmopolitan.
This mentality of well-roundedness is noticably pre-valent
among those of us who call ourselves "little-
Christs." With our feet firmly planted on the tarnished
means of culture and rationalism, we stand opposed to
those who would leaxie the security of our herd morality.
Be ye neither poor nor wealthy but middle-class; dry
nor drunk but sociable; mystic nor atheist but church-goer;
celebate nor prostitute but sensual, ... the paraly-sis
does not end.
Christ's words come as quite a shock to these bal-anced
attitudes.
When we desire to be responsible, we hear, "Go sell
all of your possessions and give the money to the poor
and follow me." We seek moderation, yet we are
advised, "If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off."
To our efforts to be holistic, our Lord replies, "I have not
come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set
man against his father, and a daughter against her
mother." And when we want to act reasonably we hear,
"If anyone strikes you on the cheek, turn to him the
other also."
Our eyes will not remain fixed on these words, our
minds refuse to contemplate them. If we do give them
consideration it is only to apply qualifiers and well-worn
spiritualizations.
What becomes of the person who takes the advice of
Christ seriously?
For the Apostle Paul, his new life entailed abandon-ing
a successful military career and choosing not to
marry because these things might have interferred with
his work.
Likewise, the life of St. Francis of Assisi is a stark
contrast to our generation of Walter Middy Christians.
The world rarely sees such men of God as St. Francis.
Perhaps this is somehow related to the fact that few are
prepared to preach to a treeful of birds or to run through
the streets of town naked as he did.
George Fox's fervor for Christ was so great that his
parents, thinking him to be crazy, took him to a doctor
to have his blood let.
In our age, however, the revolutionary power of
Christ has lost its force. Our moderation and sense for
the sensible prevail and the pure beam of Light Christ
brought into the world once again becomes diffused.
Society is left with another worldview to juggle about
rather than a New Order and a New Power which might
offer it hope.
On campus, the quest for knowledge and reasonable
behavior has usurped many responses of immediate,
Spirit-led action. Healthy GPAs, eight full hours sleep
and warm fuzzies have become the fruits of the right-eous.
In effect, it has become more blessed to lay down
our lives for our books rather than for our brothers and
sisters. Diversity, on the other hand, is greeted with
suspicion. A God-possessed person is silently encourag-ed
to keep things in perspective and to not go off the
deep end.
As individuals, we recklessly sacrifice our souls to a
hodgepodge diety of cultural expectations, peer pres-sures,
campus rules and church traditions. Let us
instead live and die for the spirit of the Living God,
regardless of how we look in the eyes of others.
Thomas Kelly, a Quaker who discovered late in life
the joy of escaping the earthly standards of religion,
wrote: "I'm so sick of trying to make all-round people.
They are too much like the church of Laodicea, and we
want to spew them out of our mouths. Progress is made
by lopsided people."
God, I ask you, where are your "lopsided" followers?

PO security problems persist
SMEA places first in state
by Janet Ewing
Dead fish and stolen food
cards are a few of the rea-sons
that Elaine McCleary,
Bethel post office coordi-nator,
would like to see
locks put on students' post
office boxes (POs).
McCleary said that pro-blems
with the security of
POs have increased since
she started working at Beth-el
three and a half years
ago. Last year over $300
was stolen in food cards
and money.
"We are one of very few
schools without locks on
POs," McCleary said. She
would like to work with
Student Senate to raise
the money to buy combi-nation
locks.
Bruce Kunkel, director
of administrative services,
said that at this time Bethel
is only considering buying
locks. It is not definite if or
when the locks will be
installed. No estimate has
been made as to the ex-pense
of the locks.

students, offering them
contact with campus life
and better knowledge of
the problems the college
"Locks on POs would
also eliminate pranks like
dead fish and horse manure
in POs,"McCleary said.
Because of poor ventila-tion
in the post office, the
smell from the dead-ani-mal
pranks disturbs the
post office workers more
than the students the jokes
are intended for. "Last year
it took us two weeks to get
the fish smell out of one
PO," McCleary said. The
post office may begin a
policy of closing down dur-ing
the time it takes to
clean out a vandalized PO.
By posting notices for-bidding
the use of decals,
McCleary hopes to make
students more aware that
POs _are private. In pre-vious
years students were
allowed to put small decals
on the outside of their
boxes. McCleary hopes
that by keeping the front
of the POs clean students
will be more respectful to-ward

POs are checked twice a
week to make sure there
are no decals on them. If a
decal is found, a note is
put in that PO giving the
student two days to re-move
the decal. If the no-tice
is disregarded, the
next note informs the stu-dent
that he/she has one
more day to clean off the
decal or the Maintenance
Department will remove it
and charge the student for
the work.
McCleary encourages
the Bethel community to
use intercampus mail
when putting notes in
POs. The designated hours

With the motto "Teach-ing
Teachers How to Teach,"
SMEA is a pre-professional
organization working un-der
the MEA specifically
for students who have an
interest in being informed
and kept up to date on cur-rent
issues and trends in
education. SMEA is de-signed
to aid students inter-ested
in education in pre-paring
for future goals they
may have as educators in
any field of study.
There are currently 96
members of SMEA at Beth-el
who, because of field
experience classes or stu-dent
teaching, need to be
provided with educator's
liability insurance. How-ever,
the association is
available to all students
with educator interests.

If the committee thinks
there is a problem in one
of the areas of Bethel life
it does research to find a
way to solve the problem.
"Once the committee
comes up with a possible
solution for a problem, it
then makes a strong re-commendation
to the ad-ministration
to carry out
that solution," said Fauth.

Bethel's SMEA sponsor.
In order to meet the
needs of Bethel SMEA mem-bers,
plans are under way
for monthly on-campus
meetings which will cover
some of the following
student-suggested topics:
how to handle job inter-views,
what resources are
available to new teachers,
Christian teaching in pub-lic
schools, crafts and
other techniques involv-ing
different aspects of ed-ucation.
Bethel SMEA members
are also planning to be
involved in projects with
children in the Twin Cit-ies

well as bringing in expe-rienced
teachers and speak-ers
to deal with student
interests and goals.

Tuesday, Oct. 20, the
Bethel forensics team tra-veled
to Normandale Com-munity
College for the
first Twin Cities Forensic
League Tournament of the
year (TCFL). The tourna-ments
are regular local
tournaments in which stu-dents
with minimal expe-rience
can develop better
skills in public speaking
and oral interpretation.
Last year, Bethel was
ranked as the 19th best
debate team in the coun-try
out of more than 200
participants in the Cross
Examination Debate Asso-ciation
(CEDA), and was
awarded the First Place
Trophy for Excellence in
the Upper Midwest.
Of the schools in the top
20 last year, only Bethel
and Wheaton Colleges
were of comparable size
and of the same theologi-cal
commitment. The other
schools included Brigham
Young University, Berk-ley,
UCLA, Colorado State
University, Air Force Aca-demy,
the University of
Utah and others.
Oct 30- 31, Bethel's de-bate
team will attend its
first tournament at Colo-rado
College in Colorado
Springs, Colorado. Rick
Kreutzfeldt, Rick Staple-ton,
Brice Russell and Ron
Nelson will attend along
with coach Butch Maltby
to match wits with some
of the finest debate teams
in the country. This semes-ter's
debate resolution is

being self-destructive
despite emaciation.
The anorexic person is
usually under 25 years old
at the onset of anorexia and
loses 25 per cent of his or
her body weight. While
anorexia is most common
among adolescent girls, 10
per cent of the cases are
males.
Bulimarexia is a type of
anorexia characterized by
symptoms of repeated eat-ing
binges and self-induced
vomiting. Anderson said
that after a while eating
becomes associated with
vomiting and the person
will gag automatically
after eating.
Anorexia has become
more prevalent in the last
20 years due to the cultur-al
preoccupation with thin-ness,
according to Ander-son.
Most women believe
they must be thin to be

Jim Spickelmier, after
spending last year as a
full-time college student,
said he is glad to be
back as campus pastor and
ready to apply the things
he learned.
Spickelmier took sab-batical
leave last year to
finish his doctorate' in
Higher Education, an inter-disciplinary
program, at
the University of Minne-sota.
He had been taking
courses on and off since
the fall of 1976.
"I've been pecking away
at it a class at a time. Last
year was a good time to
finish up my courses as
well as my . preliminary
and oral exams," said
Spickelmier. "It felt good
to be a full-time student
again and I enjoyed the
excitement of academic
life."
"The primary purpose
of the study," explained
Spickelmier, "was to find
out how college life affects
a student's cognitive abili-ty—
the way a student
thinks. The study involved
intellectual and moral de-velopment
of college stu-dents
to see if they can
reason in a more complex
fashion as they grow older
and obtain more educa-tion."
- -
Spickelmier's thesis,
which he is writing this
year, will be entitled "Case
Studies of College Exper-ience
in Relationship to
Development of Ethical
anorectic's," said Ander-son.
Mortality rates of ano-rexia
are high, ranging
from 10 to 23 per cent with
15 per cent being the most
commonly cited figure.
If someone realizes a
tendency toward anorexia,
he or she should not be
timid or embarrassed
about seeking help, said
Anderson. The earlier anor-exia
is detected, the more
chance the person has to
recover.
Anderson -said that the
majority of treatment has
been handled on campus.
Last year Dr. Elke Eckert,
professor of psychiatry at
the University of Minne-sota,

Reasoning."
Spickelmier said that
working at Bethal cre-ated
the interest in pur-suing
that field of study
and thinks his research
and findings will be very
applicable to his job as
campus pastor.
"Going through the ex-perience
of being a full-time
student helped me
remember what it is like
to be a college student,"
said Spickelmier. "But my
formal study was also very
helpful because I was able
to read about research
studies on the effects of
college life on students. I
was also able to research
studies that had been done
about adolescence and
young adulthood, as well
as studies on cognitive
development."
"I was also able to parti-cipate
in a faculty develop-ment
study at the Univer-sity,"
said Spickelmier. "It
involved studying the
changes that faculty mem-bers
go through during
their career."
"Overall, I think my
studies will help me to
understand the undergrad-uate
process better and
help me to be more sensi-tive
to the needs of my
fellow faculty members,"
said Spickelmier.
Spickelmier said that he
felt like he was in a re-entry
process at Bethel.
"It has taken some time
to get re-adjusted to my
role as campus pastor,"
said Spickelmier, "but I
am feeling more comfort-able
as time goes along,
and also as I am getting to
know more of the stu-dents."
Spickelmier became
Bethel's campus pastor in
1975. He graduated from
Bethel College in 1963 and
Bethel Seminary in 1968.
He received his Master of
Theology degree at Prince-ton
University in New Jer-sey.
Before becoming campus
pastor at Bethel Spickel-mier
served in the Peace
Corps teaching school in
Tanzania. He also pastor-ed
a church in New York
city from 1968-69, and a
church in Kensington,
Connecticut, from 1969-
75.
Spickelmier and his
wife Carole, a flute teacher
and homemaker, have
three boys—Eric, 11;
Grant, 8; and Mark, 3.

Bethel students were

Tuesday, Oct. 12, spon-sored
by the Peace and
Social Justice ComMittee,
a group of students con-cerned
about military and
social reforms.
The seminar included
three topics. The first, en-titled
"Registration and
You," was lead by G.W.
Carlson, assistant profes-sor
of history and political
science at Bethel, who sug-gested
several options to
the draft. Phyllis Golden,

and Lester Arasmith,
associate professor of eco-nomics

their ideas of what the

"The issue of registra-tion
and draft is impor-tant,"
said Carlson.
Persons who believe
that registering for a mil-itary
draft would be
against their Christian prin-ciples
may choose one of
three alternatives: Write
"I am a conscientious ob-jector"
on the registration
form; not register at all; or
publically refuse to regis-ter
and be willing to ac-cept
the legal conse-quences
of that action.
The consequences of re-fusing
to register could

feels a lot of pressure and
is trying to have as much
fun as possible, playing.
Leigh said of the two
games last week, "I am
pleased with the team;
everyone is playing well
right now. The wins were
good team wins."
Saturday, Oct. 24, the
Royals will host Hamline
at 1:30 p.m.
according to Carlson.
"Only if one believes firm-ly
that the state has no
right to force an individ-ual
into the military should
he refuse to register; then
he must be prepared to
face the consequences,"
said Carlson.
"To register as a con-scientious
objector is to
say 'I, as a Christian, can-not
participate in war, no
matter if it is in a peace-time
army or not,"' said
Carlson.
Persons belonging to
historic peace churches
have previously been grant-ed
conscientious objector
(CO) status more easily
than non-church or non-
Christian people seeking
it. However, the govern-ment
has tightened its reg-ulations
and persons seek-ing
CO status are going to
have a much harder time
getting it, Carlson said.
Chapman, speaking on
the "Personal Biblical Per-spectives"
gave his inter-pretation
of how Old Tes-tament
theology, as a
whole, fit into New Tes-tament
theology concern-ing
war and peace. "The
days of the old covenant
are past," he said. "These
are the days of the new."
Chapman said,"God set
the standard in his 'love
command'—to 'love thy
neighbor as thyself."'
Based on God's making all
persons in his image, all
human life is sacred and
the sixth commandment—
"thou shalt not kill"—is
pertinent today, he said.
"We do not have to rely
on military strength to pro-tect
ourselves, for God's
strength will do this apart
from our strength," Chap-man
said. "Violence begets
violence; there is no war to
end all wars."
Arasmith said, "My ap-proach
to the conscien-tious
objector issue is in-tensely
personal." After 17
years as an Air Force offi-cer,
Arasmith said the
Vietnam war caused a
change in his life. Accord-ing
to Arasmith, though
he loves his country and
would die for a just cause,
he believed that killing
was a sin and therefore
broke allegiance with his
country.
"I chose not to take a
human life," said Ara-smith,
and cited I John 2:5-
6 as the clear indication of
Christ's model to man.
Arasmith considers it
wrong to make weapons
with the intent to kill.
Phyllis Golden, speaker
for the topic "Human Con-sequences-
of War," said
that to her knowledge the
buildup of weapons "has
always led to war, never
deferred it." Weapons are
made to use in war, she
said, not to prevent war.
When the government
puts more priority on de-fense
spending than on hu-manistic
programs the
morale of the people is
decreased, according to
Golden. The process of be-coming
complacent about
the situation leads to what
psychologists call "psy-chic
numbing."
"It is important to under-stand
what would happen
to the world if there was a
nuclear war," Golden con-tinued.
"Threats of nuclear
wars have had a tremen-dous
impact on us psycho-logically,"
she said.
Physicians for Social Re-sponsibility
(PRS) is a
group concerned with the
consequences of a nuclear
war. "I am convinced that
major changes in prevent-ing
a nuclear war from
occurring will have to
start from the grass roots
level," said Golden. PRS is
one way the health care
field can contribute to the
education and awareness
of the nuclear arms race.

The bridge was out, but
the Bethel women's cross-country
team still managed
to ford a stream en route
to a ninth place finish at
the St. Cloud Invitational
Saturday, Oct. 17. Four-teen
teams competed in
the race.
Wendy Norberg led the
team with a tenth place
finish in a field of about
120 runners. She was fol-lowed
by Leah Schirm
who finished 57th and
Rochelle Mathiesen who
finished 85th.
Other finishers for
Bethel were Lana Lauwers
and Kathy Zappe. Coach

Once again the weather
refused to cooperate as the
Bethel men's cross-coun-try
.team slipped and slid
over the five-mile Bethel
course last Saturday, Oct.
17. Times were slow but
the men managed 25
points to easily defeat
Macalester's 65 and North-western's
69. Augsburg
competed with an incom-plete
team.
Bethel's Richard Why-brew
was the overall
winner of the race. His
teammate, Tom Plocker,
crossed the line in fourth
place, immediately fol-lowed
by Mark Boyer in
fifth. Ross Allen captured

This year's volleyball
team is doing its best to
redefine the term "close
encounters." The Bethel
spikers were involved in
three more close matches
last week, losing to St.
Thomas and Augsburg
before defeating Concordia-
St. Paul Saturday, Oct. 17.
The first game against
St. Thomas may have been
the pivotal one in the
Royals' match against the
much-improved Tommies.
The lead seesawed before
St. Thomas won the opener
18 - 16. After losing the
second game 15 - 10, the
Royals came back to win
the third game 15- 13. St.
Thomas bounced back,
however, to win the fourth
game 15-9 and the match.
Against Augsburg, the
seventh place and fresh-man
"Squeak" Kummer
filled the fifth varsity slot
by taking eighth place.
Boyer and Brad Erick-son
distinguished them-selves
as the team's "mud-runners"
by being the only
two to better their times
despite the sloppy condi-tions.
Coach Steve Whit-taker
was exceptionally
pleased with the perfor-mances
of both runners.
Saturday, Oct. 24, Bethel
hosts its last home meet of
the season against St. Paul
Bible College, Macalester,
Gustavus Adolphus and
St. Scholastica. The men's
race begins just south of
Bremer football field at
11:00 a.m.
second-place finishers in
last year's tournament,
Bethel lost the first game
15-9 but won the second
18-16. The third game was
the turning point of the
match as the hard-hitting
Auggies won a 16-14 squeak-er.
the Royals could not
muster any offense in game
four as Augsburg won the
final game 15 -4.
The Royal spikers then
returned home for a match
against Concordia-St.
Paul. The squad started
out very slowly and
dropped the first two
games by the identical
score of 15- 9. With their
backs to the wall, the Roy-als
finally caught fire
and won the next three
games, 15 - 5, 15-5, 15- 3 to
win the match three games
to two.

Bethel's first MIAC
championship in any sport
may be just around the
corner. The Royal soccer
team leads the MIAC and
is one and one half games
ahead of second place St.
John's.
The Royals need to win
two out of their three
remaining conference
games to clinch the title.
Then even if St. John's
won all its remaining
games the two teams
would have the same rec-ord
but Bethel would re-tain
the edge by a previous
victory over St. John's.

Bill Lau said that Lauwers
is running with an injury,
possibly shin splints.
Lau said that Saturday's
course had "good terrain,"
but the women had to jump
or run through a creek
with a mile to go in the
race. Despite this obsta-cle,
three of the five
women, Schirm, Zappe and
Mathiesen ran their best
times of the season.
As the season draws to
a close Lau says that he
continues to have high
expectations for the team's
performance at regionals.
The women will host

Royals lose
Homecoming
heartbreaker
by Mark Wollan
Traditionally, Home-coming
games are star-spangled
events held on
crisp, clear, fall days. Last
Saturday, Oct. 17, the Roy-al
football team lost 16-7
to St. John's in a not so
traditional Homecoming
style.
St. John's head coach
John Gagliardi had his
team play Saturday's con-test
under protest after
first demanding that the
Royals forfeit the game
because of Bethel's bad
field conditions.
Bethel groundskeepers
worked on Bremer field all
day Friday, Oct. 16, hop-ing
to repair the damage
done to the field through-out
the season. However,
Friday night's over one
half inch of rain ruined
their efforts.
Gagliardi said he was
"glad we escaped alive."
His anger apparently had
an inspirational effect as
the Johnnies rolled up 301
total yards.
The Royals had a diffi-cult
time offensively but
were never out of the ball
game. Kicker Jon Fred-erickson
booted field goals
of 20 and 42 yards for
Bethel's scoring.
The Bethel special teams
unit has been consistently
improving throughout the
season. Jeff Wilson punted
five times for an average
of 40.4 yards a punt, in-cluding
one 76-: yard kick.
The Bethel comeback
was sparked by the hitting
and passing of co-captain
Denise Nygren and the accu-rate
passing of Cheryl
Madson.
Coach Cindy Book was
relieved that her team
finally came to life. "We
started extremely slowly,"
she said, "but then came
back and played the way
we're capable of."
Saturday, Oct. 24, the
Royals will play separate
matches against Gustavus
Adolphus and Concordia-
Moorhead, both at Gus-tavus.
The match against
the Cobbers and the Oct.
26 match at Northwestern
will probably determine
whether or not the Royals
advance to the state tour-nament
at Macalester
Nov. 6 and 7.
